Tomi Lahren Says Americans Will Be ‘Armed and Ready’ to Protect Themselves Against Immigrants

Tomi Lahren Says Americans Will Be ‘Armed and Ready’ to Protect Themselves Against Immigrants
Fox Business

Far-Right Fox News personality Tomi Lahren is no stranger to incendiary, racist rhetoric, but her statements against immigrants in a recent Fox Business appearance are chilling even for her.

While making the case for why civilians need guns to sufficiently protect themselves against the world's most expansive military arsenal, Lahren warned that gun rights activists would be "armed and ready" against undocumented immigrants.


Watch below.

"This is your right," Lahren told Fox Business host Stuart Varney, "Your right to protect and defend yourself and your family."

She continued:

"And all the things the Democrats want to put in place — my goodness, if they want to open our borders, you better be sure the people in Texas, the people in South Dakota, the people in the middle of this country, we are going to be armed and ready, because we have to have a means to defend ourselves from — who knows who's coming in?"

Last month, a racist gunman murdered 22 people at a Walmart in El Paso to "defend against the Hispanic invasion of Texas."

Lahren's endorsement of shooting immigrants is dangerous rhetoric and people were quick to call her out on it.

Lahren currently hosts Final Thoughts on the Fox News's digital platform, Fox Nation.

Earlier this year, an armed civilian militia set up camp at the southern border for the express purpose of detaining and possibly murdering immigrants attempting to cross into the United States. One of the members said of the immigrants, "We have to go back to Hitler days and put them all in a gas chamber."

Ralph Fiennes Got Absolutely Shredded For His Next Film Role—And Fans Are Impressed

You really have to hand it to method actors: when they commit to a role, it seems like there's nothing they won't do to become the character they're portraying on the screen or stage.

Ralph Fiennes, for example, is no stranger to method acting. Back when he worked on Schindler's List as Amon Goeth, Steven Spielberg commented on his commitment to the part, both studying historical documents and published diary entries and gaining weight for the part.

Home Alone 2: Lost in New York director Chris Columbus says he wishes he could cut President Donald Trump's cameo from the film, though he acknowledges that to do so could force him out of the country.

In a recent interview with the San Francisco Chronicle, director Chris Columbus admitted that Trump’s cameo in Home Alone 2 has turned into something of a “curse"—one he now regrets. Columbus revealed he had considered cutting the scene entirely but ultimately left it in after test audiences responded well to the brief appearance.

Mike Johnson Just Tried To Blame Medicaid Cuts On Video Games—And It Didn't Go Over Well

House Speaker Mike Johnson was called out after he erroneously claimed that Medicaid cuts are happening due to "young men" who play video games "all day" instead of going to work.

Medicaid, the joint federal-state program that provides health coverage to low-income Americans, children, pregnant women, and people with disabilities, has long been in the GOP’s crosshairs. Critics within the party argue it discourages work, particularly among younger adults.
